Good job! Years ago I had a friend who was an iris hybridizer. Here are a couple tips he gave me. Cut the fans in order to direct energy to the new roots. Also remove spent flowers so the plant doesn’t set seeds. He also suggested planting three rhizomes in a triangle for a better effect when they bloom. Happy planting!
As someone who has been dividing iris like crazy over the last 5 or 6 years. My tip is to always cut them about 6 inches above ground before you start dividing them, it makes it a lot easier to work with and less overwhelming.
Thanks for the help your explanation was very helpful I appreciated it very much
Helpful and vivid
I should have read this first! I have a clump of what looks like 25 new irises all clumped within a 2 foot x 2 foot x 1 foot… I don’t even know how to move it without breaking it!
@@HildeAzul they are one of the toughest plants you can grow. I don't think you can kill them and you certainly ain't going to hurt them if you break them. I've got a a couple of clumps that I haven't divided in a while and they need it badly. Another good thing about iris is they don't grow real deep in soil, so should be easy to dig up
Thank you so much. I remember when I was about 8yrs old, my mom had some irises in the back. I always cut them and watered them. One year I remember digging them up and spreading them out within that little strip of garden bed. How on earth did I know how to do that? My mom never worked in the garden. It was the only flowers we had. I remember being so happy that next year they bloomed! I guess that’s exactly when my love of flowers and gardens started. Thank you for finding that memory from your video here. I’m 64 now and I love to garden. But I have NO irises in my beds! What a shame. I bet I do next spring. Lol. God bless and have a great weekend. 💕👏🏻
Love you Lisa, god bless
That is SO cute that you did that!
I just divided mine a few weeks ago. I had never heard about the 7 leaves...good to know. I just planted these a year ago and had plenty to divide and share with some friends. It cost me about $11 to mail and I used an ice pick to punch holes all over the boxes I shipped them in. Before I shipped them, I removed all the dirt and soaked them for a couple of hours in a 10:1 bleach solution. I let them air dry on a covered patio. I’m hoping they will grow for my friends because I enjoyed them so much this Spring! Oh, I also threw away the mother rhizome. Those I replanted have taken hold very quickly. I had to go back and add a little more soil (Purchased) in areas where the roots were exposed from settling in. Make sure you water too! In zone 7a, the first bloom came on my birthday in mid-April.
Sounds great!
Thanks for such a detailed, easy-to-understand tutorial. I appreciate that you showed multiple examples of what to keep and what to discard.
I needed this video and it couldn't have come at a better time. I have a patch of iris and they so need dividing. Thank you once again for the most detailed explanation on how to do this. I now feel confident to do this. Take care!
Same!
I love how you divided those flowers
Lol. The pup out take is adorable!
This is such a wonderful video! I live how you covered the process from beginning to end, and gave just the right amount of information without digressing. I can’t wait to watch your other videos. 🙏🏻
Irises are easy to replant. Just remember - Duck on water - only roots ( feet ) in soil.
I’m going to teach my niece and nephew that saying!♥️
Omg!! 30 years growing Iris and I learned something new!! 7 fans?? Thank you?!
Can you help me!? Can I divide them now..while some are blooming? Mine are cramped badly..I want to move the ones that aren't blooming this year. If I wait til end of summer I can't tell which are which, also. I want to move certain colors.
@@RunninUpThatHillh yes, you won't hurt them but others may not bloom this year. Just follow the rest of the video advice
Thank you! I looked all over online and couldn't find an answer.
@@RunninUpThatHillh they'll be stressed but I just recently did the same thing, and I've been given permission to drug up lilies in bloom from people's yards, planted dead summer and they bloomed the following spring
I inherited my mom's place about 15 yrs ago now, where I've been living since divorcing in '97. She planted Iris's here that I know most be 30 yrs old. Honestly they don't look like they've been divided ever to me, I've never divided them. Thinking it's about time, they too are blocked more now because of a tree over the yrs. Great tip about when to do it too. Always love seeing Mischa at the ready to help, and what a smarty pants.
I didn't realize they needed to be exposed when planting. Good information.
Iris’s pretty much take care of themselves and they don’t need a lot of watering
Got some iris from my neighbor this spring. Bearded and Siberian. Eager to see what happens next year!
Great job. Now I know the right way to do it. Thanks for this video😊😊🇨🇦
This video is perfect timing!! Thank you so much for the great information!
Mine need this I noticed they don't bloom anymore although the foliage looks good. Thanks for this!
Thank you for this!! I never even paid attention to dividing mine. Now I will.
That was so interesting and easy to understand. You explain everything so well 😊
Thank you!
Loved the video. This is my first experience with deciding Iris. I had no blooms this summer. I inherited my Mothers home and gardens. I doubt they were ever separated. Thank you, thank you. 😃
Now I know why my iris don’t bloom. Planted to deep and I need to separate the bulbs. Thanks for all the information you give. Looks like I have a project this weekend
Cuttingthem before they turn yellow tops they want bloom next year.
Thank YOU, bearded irises we have, since we bought the house, 20 years ago. So Many I will now divide.
Will do a 1/4 acre of irises. That's how many we have. Thank You Again you inspired me.
Very interesting...usually when I divide & replant my irises I cut about 2 inches from the rhizome. I just cut straight across. I don't cut in a fan shape. I've seen other people do that and I don't expose the rhizome because I have too many animals/critters that run around and will pull them right on up so make sure they are good and planted and covered. Maybe it's the type of soil that I have are usually always amend with hummus and manure. I believe my zone 6b. I know that they've changed the ranges🤷🏾♀️. But I did not know about the 7 leaves means it will flower that is awesome 👍🏾👍🏾 thanks for sharing that information
Awe Mishka is so adorable! Loved the video, reminds me that I have to divide mine.😊
That was great. Thank you. I have iris's that have not been divided for about 13 years. But they are doing great and don't have good drainage. But I need to get in there and divide.
Thanks Yuliya, this is exactly what I need to do! Love the ending ❤️🐶
We definitely need to divide our bearded irises so this was perfect. Thank you.
I loved the doggy part at the end! Wasn't expecting it. Awwwww

Glad it was helpful!
Such a helpful video - I have definitely been doing it wrong for a while now!! Thanks for making everything so clear!
I've watched this video multiple times and now I'll try it on my own irises. Thank you for the very clear instructions. Love your channel and IG. So helpful!
Thank you for this video. It’s been very informative. Never thought to shape the irises into a diamond form. I will be doing that.
Excellent! I have many iris. Needed this visual explanation of how to divide. Thank you!
I just learned everything I'll probably ever need to know about my irises because of you. Thank you.
Thanks for this very thorough explanation! And loved seeing your garden helper at the end. :)

You do a nice job of explaining. I love your work!
Thank you so much! I have a lot of dividing to do this year, and this video was very informative.

I didn’t know about planting iris with the backs exposed, thanks 🙏 for explaining all about this beautiful plant
Irises are such pretty flowers and so many different sizes and varieties.

Thank you for the very clear explanation! I have several large clumps that I'm now going to divide!
Fabulous video! Clear, concise, simple instructions! Off to divide my huge iris! THANKS
I always take some leaves off to compensate for root loss, daylillies, sysrinchium, etc. Great timing, I need to do these I inherited with the house. They're up against a dark brick, west facing foundation. The poor things tried to bloom in February! I've got a sunny bank they'd like.
This was the best information about irises I have seen
Thank you for sharing the great information on Irises learn alot.

Thank you so much 😊 for the information!!! That sounds like a beautiful iris. I didn’t know they came in blue
Fantastic, you answered everything I had been wondering about, all in one video
Yay!!!! I finally found a plant content creator in NJ! I'm so new to planting
They are my favorite flower and I love planting them and even transplant them in different spots in my flowerbeds
Thanks for the tips about seven leaves. You are a pleasant person to listen to.
So helpful and such a peaceful lesson with the cutest bonus at the end😊
Great info! I did this about three weeks ago (long over due plus I wanted to redo the area they were in).
Another gem.... I learned so much!

I wish every garden I watched was this informative. Thank you for making this video. I learned a lot of helpful information.
Moved here, zone 5a, 15years ago. Irises were here, I never separated them. Long overdue. Thank you for the excellent video; I learned so much & will now dig, divide, sort, transplant those irises 🤞.
Thank you. Just what I needed. Thanks.
This was a great teaching video! You explained everything so well, and then showed how to do it without a lot of fuss and filler talking. Loved it! Will subscribe--California zone 9. 💖
Great information! Thank you so much for sharing this!! I have some to divide this next year!
I was always told to wait until fall - this makes perfect sense - thank you so much!! I am jealous of your lovely soil - I work and work to improve my clay but with 3 acres it will never happen in my lifetime! ;-)
Fabulous tutorial!
Very nice video and thanks for the treat at the end!!
Such a helpful video. Thank you so much.
YEP, you needed your helper, of course !
Wonderful no-fuss tips. Been wondering how I would divide my iris plants. They were given to my by our Monsignor in church (an Iris enthusiast). He has since retired and this is my memories of him 🙏❤️
Thank you! Excellent description and walk-through of the process. I did not know until today that they needed this. (I was wondering why mine did not bloom this year)
Outstanding video, this was so helpful! Thank you. PS. I adore your puppy at the end of your episode!
THANK YOU thank you thank you for such a detailed video on how to do this.. i've always wanted to see a video that goes up close & slowly describes how to divide irises. and you just did!
Glad it was helpful!
I was told three to a fan for bloom. Think it worked. Had lots of blooms this year.
Thank you for sharing your expertise on dividing irises. I learned many points I didn't previously know. I will be using your method to divide and move mine to a sunnier spot soon. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful, I broke up a big clump of irises last summer and spread them all around my garden, even had enough to give to my neighbors. All of the transplants are now blooming! Thank you!
Thank you for such precise information.
Thank you for the video, it's clear and simple. Now I know which one to replant. Beautiful home, handsome dog!
Thank you!
Need to divide mine and was just thinking about how to do it. Thank you!
Just basically stumbled on your channel . Looking for information on how to divide my irises. My 76 yo mother gave me a fairly big clump of irises from her iris bed. I was happy to get them, but unprepared for them as they were an unexpected gift. I brought them home,and place prepared. It was wrong time of year, I suppose. But I quickly put the entire clump in the ground. I got no blooms that , year. So I thought , next year. Then no blooms again, this year being 3rd year I was certain I would have plenty of iris blooms. I had 1 bloom. I figured out that they were over crowded when I got them ,so I am attempting to learn more. You have absolutely the best , easier, and visually show step by step how to do it. Thank you . I have subscribed, looking forward to more videos on different gardening tips. Thank you , you are very much appreciated.
Thank you so much. I just received my 1st gift of Iris plants. About 50! This was very helpful to learn the correct way to plant them.
This is EXACTLY what I needed. I bought a house 5 1/2 years ago and inherited a property full of irises. They are overdue being thinned out. I have successfully transplanted a few, but was lucky.
